Quick and Easy Salmon Melt Sandwich
This Quick and Easy Salmon Melt Sandwich with zesty lemon, mayo, cheese, and tomato is a fast and delicious lunch idea! Ready in 20 minutes.
I don’t eat canned salmon very often, but it sure is a lifesaver. I always make sure that I have a few cans of salmon, tuna fish, and sardines in my pantry. You never know when you will not be in the mood to cook or when the unexpected happens.
Salmon MeltCanned salmon is an excellent alternative to canned tuna fish. This is one of those recipes that’s great for any types of bread. I prefer a whole wheat loaf bread with a few healthy grains with my salmon melt instead of white bread. All multigrain loaves of bread are not appetizing.
Salmon MeltIn addition to adding shallot, mayonnaise, lemon juice and parsley, I added my Pineapple Gourmet Hot Sauce for a little bit of a kick. It gave it a delicious spicy flavor.
This sandwich is a full meal because I added a couple of slices of tomato. Adding fresh tomato is another way to add more vitamins to your lunch. Did you know that canned salmon is usually lower in toxins than tuna? So don’t ignore those cans of salmon when they’re on sale.
This particular sandwich is best eaten right away because sliced bread although toasted will still be a bit soggy. Unless you are using a dense bread, the sliced bread will not hold its crusty texture for a long time.
Salmon MeltFor all the ingredients to mix well, I would suggest mashing the salmon with a fork first. The fork breaks the lumps and makes the salmon flaky. The other ingredients will then blend well with each other.
